Constantly repeating myself

[AnonymousParticipant]

I’m sorry I don’t mean to constantly be repeating myself snd apologizing for the thoughts. I just don’t know how else to express myself. I’m terrible at doing that to begin with snd then to try and explain these things it’s so difficult for me I don’t know how else to do it. Whenever I sit with the thoughts snd I realize that I know I don’t want them. But it’s having that initial thought intrusive or not that bothers me the most I think. I hate that I even have them and I don’t understand why. I don’t understand any of this. I understand that I may not feel uncomfortable or weird or disgusted because I have desensitized myself to the thoughts in general, but I don’t understand then why they just don’t just go away. That’s what makes it worse because then it feels like I like the thoughts when I know I don’t because I have moments when I absolutely know I don’t. Even when I do feel better I still feel depressed. I’ve never felt so angry and irritable and that’s bothering me too. I feel so mean like people think I’m a bitch and I’m really not. I just don’t understand any of this and just want it to go away
